Introduction Before using “money” in transactions, people bartered for what they want. However, Barter transactions can only occur where there is a "double coincidence of wants", that the seller must have exactly the things that the buyer wants and the buyer must have something the seller wants in return. It is hard to find these double coincidences, since it is very difficult to find two persons who can suit each other’s wants exactly (Roth, Sönmez & Ünver, 2005), and people have to know the exchange prices of all the goods in order to trade. It makes trading difficult to carry out. To make trading simpler, people created “Money” as a medium of exchange and to measure the value of goods.

It makes E-money difficult to replace cash. The difficulties in popularization To supersede cash, E-money should be popularized, but it is a hard work. This is because of the low acceptance of people and the high cost of applying E-money transaction system.

However, people are not familiar with it and need time to adapt. Especially for the elderly people and people without technological knowledge, they usually resist and don’t how to use E-money. Also, E-money is still not so widely used now. To deal with the daily transactions, many of them cannot be done by using E-money. However, cash using is already adapted by people, and all transaction can be done by using cash. Therefore, Wonglimpiyarat (2007) writes “there seems to be no consumer response to the e-cash as a revolutionary means of payment transmission”. It put E-money in a disadvantageous position. On the other hand, the cost of applying E-money transaction system is very high. Because E-money can only use with the E-money products, specific electronic devices are needed to apply for E-money transaction. Also, “a system [of] … electronic money on cards and hard drives … functions efficiently if

The primitive monetary instruments had a profoundly dynamic assistant nature, had no inborn quality. Their operation did not suggest the utilization of any particular item, but rather just the reference to a theoretical money related unit. Regardless of the possibility that the unique money related unit were symbolized by a given particular stock, this stock never took an interest in the operations, since what was implied was to make a conceptual reference to its worth, and not to trade different merchandise for it. Hence, currency was not, subsequently, created by a flash of brilliance, but rather originated from a need, and its development has reflected, at every time, the readiness of man to orchestrate its currency features to the reality of its economy. Perhaps even more importantly, invention of currency was the mother step in a new monetary system that has led to the birth of electronic banking and credit cards. To infer, pretty much as human advancement from viciousness to development has relied on upon the invention of currency, future advancement will rely on another definition and utilization of

Monetary values have changed throughout history because problems presented in each system of commerce. Bartering was among the earliest forms of commerce to present a problem. It did not establish monetary value in anything specific, allowing an individual’s wants or needs to be deemed monetary values. Each seller could make exchange requests based on different things. For example, a starving man could deem grain a commodity if he only manufactures luxury goods. Based on his hunger, the starving man can request to make an exchange of his luxury good with farmers for grain. Given that luxury goods are not a necessity, nor desired by everyone, the farmers can refuse his offer. The man would have to barter with a third party to acquire whatever the farmers were willing to make an exchange for. Inconsistent commodities in bartering made transactions inefficient because it could require multiple exchanges. Standards were established to combat the inefficiency of bartering through establishing value in one set commodity that all would accept. With a standard, the man could obtain grain directly from the farmers because it is mandated that the standard be accepted as debt payment. Therefore, it is more efficient to have a standard which only requires one transaction than to barter. For a matter of convenience, value transferred from virtually any object to specific resources. A common resource used for standards is metal. In early empires and recent nations, gold and/or silver
With the barter system, it took longer for you to get what you wanted because of the trades you would have to make and with the money you have direct access to the goods or service that you desire. The Bible says, “For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil,” (1 Tim.6:10 NLT). This speaks to the love of money and not money itself. This is for the people who cannot balance money and the world.

The beginning of money started with barely when it became a universal measure for evaluating and exchanging all other goods and services in that time of history (181). This set the way for the modern world to use money in the same way. According to Harari “Money is accordingly a system of mutual trust, and just any system of mutual system: money is the most important universal and most efficient system of mutual trust ever devised” (180). This is the foundation on which money was built on and how it works in today’s modern world. The reason for money being such a big part of our modern world is because it “… is the only trust system created by humans that can bridge almost any cultural gap, and that does not discriminate on the basis of religion, gender, race, age or sexual orientation” (186). This quote provides the reason how money has helped the formation of our modern world. It shows how different cultures started to come together through trade of money. This is the positive aspect of the modern use of money. Even though money may have a positive effect on the trade and industry but, the principle of money itself has an evil side. It can effect someone’s traditions, relations, and human values. Many people believe that money can’t buy loyalty, love, or honor but, in today’s modern society it can.

Although, bartering did come with some limitations. Such as, if you were a fisherman in a town with only one butcher and you wanted to trade your fish for his beef but he didn't want fish, you would have to find something he would trade his beef for and trade your fish for it. Bartering on long trips also could cause some issues.

As a result of money being developed as a practical means to exchange goods, the question of what is money is still relevant for scientific analysis. What is it really? Is it a social construct that has no intrinsic meaning? Is a dollar bill money? Is it a representation for value, or it is valuable intrinsically? Who decides the worth? What do we mean when we speak of money? The answers to these questions are not fully understood in our analysis of the current literature. Our goal is to explore this general theme and explain why it is a difficult questions.
